GarageBand User Guide for iPad
Feb 11, 2013 This may sound very simple, but here's my problem: I plug my guitar in to my iPad2 to use the guitar amplifier in Garage Band. No sound comes out of the iPad when I play. I can see the green light above the cable icon in GarageBand, so I know it's getting a signal from my guitar. Apr 10, 2020 In your top left corner of the Menu Bar, click GarageBand, click Preferences, and then click the Audio/Midi button. This lets you choose your input/output. For input, select the interface you’re using so the sound doesn’t go in through the built-in microphone. Then, for output, choose which speakers you want your sound to come from. Jun 30, 2012 I had trouble getting any audio to play in my project after deleting a track that was in 'solo' mode. The only way to get any of the audio to play was to solo the tracks I wanted to play, and if I.

Play the sample
- Tap notes on the Sampler keyboard.The sound plays higher or lower as you play higher or lower on the keyboard. You can play multiple keys to create “chords” with the sound.The Sampler also includes controls that let you change the keyboard range, hold notes, change the keyboard layout and size, bend notes and add modulation, adjust touch sensitivity, arpeggiate chords, or play using a particular scale. These controls are the same as the controls for the Keyboard Touch Instrument.
